Review: Purple Disco Machine's third studio album Paradise, sees the Dresden producer enjoying his ongoing love affair with that sweet spot between house and disco and building on previous floorpleasing like 'Hypnotized', 'Fireworks', 'Dopamine' and 'Substitution'. There's a serious dollop of the influence of Prince on this one, too - the clue is in that Purple name - and an all star cast of guests, from Jake Shears to Nile Rogers, give the vibes a serious boost too.

Review: Dresden producer Purple Disco Machine presents his third studio album Paradise, riffing off his mature and developed passion for the intersection of house and disco. Building on the intense fervour for hits such as 'Hypnotized', 'Fireworks', 'Dopamine' and 'Substitution' comes this new lilac-hued opus. Implicitly nodding at the legacy of pop music's most short lived star, Prince - his ultimately symbolic, purple reign - Purple Disco Machine, as the name suggests, machinates the essence of such a sound in nu-disco form, successfully tributing to the new age of disco and once again sporting a star cast of features

Review: Purple Disco Machine continues to offer up fresh, club-ready remixes of recent singles. Here, Sophie & The Giants hook-up 'In The Dark' - a radio-friendly nu-disco sing-along in its original form - is given the re-rub treatment. Crazy P's Jim Baron delivers two A-side revisions under his Ron Basejam alias: a squelchy, bleeping, electro-not-electro full vocal take that will get plenty of plays for the rest of the year, and a deeper, hazier 'Dub Remix' for the heads. Over on the flip, Oliver Heldens joins the dots between Italo-disco, grandiose 21st century synth-pop and driving house on a certified hands-aloft take, while Belgium's Aeroplane drops a pleasingly bouncy, synth-rich nu-disco spin.
Review: When it comes to blurring the boundaries between Defected style accessible house and revivalist disco, Purple Disco Machine is arguably in a league of his own. The German producer has certainly ticked all the right boxes with his latest 12", which features two club-length extended versions of two excitable, festival-friendly workouts. A-side 'At The Disko' is a perfectly pitched chunk of bouncy nu-disco/house/p-funk fusion rich in vibrant synth sounds, spacey synth-strings, Nile Rodgers style guitar licks, energetic piano stabs and autotune-heavy vocals, while flipside 'Don't Stop' joins the dots between K.I.D's thrusting disco classic of the same name, the Munich Machine hedonism of Giorgio Moroder and breakdown-heavy classic house.
Review: Given that it's currently Pride month around the world, it seems fitting that Purple Disco Machine has chosen this moment to unveil 'Plaxbox', a typically cheery and synth-heavy excursion built around (replayed) samples from LGBT icon Sylvester's 'Rock The Box'. The popular German producer's done a good job in joining the dots between colourful nu-disco, electrofunk and Moroder-style, arpeggio-driven Euro-disco, with a swathe of vocal samples (borrowed, under license, from a First Choice disco jam) swirling around the mix to add even more energy. It also includes a proper hands-in-the-air breakdown, too, suggesting that 'Playbox' could well be one of the most-played nu-disco records of the summer.
Review: It would be fair to say that there are few bigger contemporary disco producers than Purple Disco Machine. His particular brand of revivalist disco offers a near perfect balance of 1970s style instrumentation and contemporary dancefloor chops, thus delivering timeless tracks that guarantee good times for all those who hear them. "In My Arms" is a great example of this. It's authentic - walking bassline, swooping Salsoul strings, gospel-influenced piano riffs and so on - but also boasts builds and drops more associated with rush-inducing house anthems. Of the two versions it's the celebratory, full vocal "Extended Mix" that we'd recommend, though the instrumental take is pretty tidy too.
Review: German DJ/producer and Dimitri From Paris doppleganger Purple Disco Machine has been on a fine run of form of late, offering up a fine mix album on Glitterbox and a swathe of peak-time-ready singles. His latest workout is another all-action anthem that should delight both disco and house fans. "Emotion" sees him place re-sung vocals from a well-loved disco classic atop a bustling disco-house bed of Giorgio Moroder style arpeggio bass, Nile Rodgers-esque guitars and Italo Disco-aping synthesizer motifs. Over on the flip he joins forces with pal Lorenz Rhode to offer up a P-funk flavoured boogie-house onslaught rich in throbbing synthesizers and tasty talk box vocals.
Review: In honour of Record Store Day 2019, Sweat It Out has pressed up this vibrantly coloured 12" featuring reworks of tracks from Purple Disco Machine's 2017 debut album, "Soulmatic". It's a formidably floor-friendly affair all told. David Penn kicks things off with an unflinchingly heavy version of "Music In You" - all sweeping orchestral breakdowns, mesmerizing vocoder vocals, short piano loops and thunderous house beats - while funky house pioneer Mousse T offers up a suitably elastic and rubbery disco-house version of "Encore". Over on the flipside, Superlover goes all "French touch" on a Cassius/early Daft Punk style version of "Play" (itself a cover of Planet Patrol's electro-era classic "Play At Your Own Risk) before Carl Cox offers up a bouncy, electrofunk-meets-techno take on "Body Funk" that's propelled forwards by restless drum machine cowbells.
Review: Established by the late DJ Ajax, Australian label Sweat It Out is back with a new release this week by label staple Tino Piontek aka Purple Disco Machine. Originally releasing under the aliases Stereofreak and Stereofunk, Piontek debuted on the Sydney-based label with his acclaimed Soulmatic LP back in 2017. The Dresden-based producer serves up some typically neon-lit night moves on the scorching disco inferno of 'Dopamine' that's sure to set the dancefloor alight on the A side. Over on the flip, Piontek streamlines the groove into a more functional and bass-driven affair for DJ use on the handy club dub.
Review: Built around a central Stax Records gem from the late 1960s, Purple Disco Machine's 'Devil In Me' is an emotional disco-house burster that reappropriates the staunch voices of Judy Clay and William Bell's 'Private Number'. But the function of this track isn't to evoke mournful blues 'motion more than it is to get you up and dancing; truly, the hard edges and funk bounces of this track will 'bring out the devil' in you too. Fittingly, it comes to a blood red vinyl 12" edition.
Review: While his music has never been embraced by the cooler end of the 21st century disco scene, Tino Piontek AKA Purple Disco Machine has long been one of nu-disco's most talented and popular producers - an artist whose vibrant and beefed-up updates of the 1970s and 80s disco template manage to be floor-friendly, entertaining and oddly addictive. Further proof of his abilities (not that more were needed) arrives via 'Ghost Town', another anthem-in-the-making that pairs Retrosonix's Chic-style vocals with the over-the-top-disco surge of Cerrone, the synth squelch of nu-disco, and the low-end weight of disco-house. It's best enjoyed in its' A-side full vocal form, but the expertly arranged and produced flip-side instrumental mix is also great.

Review: German artist Purple Disco Machine is a studio wizard and something of a throwback - he manages to make tunes that are rich in musicality as well as having plenty of focus on the dancefloor. Each one brims with colourful hooks and catchy grooves and this new one 'Beat Of Your Heart' comes with delightfully soulful vocals from singer-songwriter ASDiS. It's got summer anthem written all over it such is the feel-good nature of the whole thing with both a club dub and instrumental also included for different settings. Bring on the sun!
Review: Honey Boy is a superb new single by the one and only Purple Disco Machine alongside the super star bass player and Chic band member Nile Rogers as well as Shenseea and Benjamin Ingrosso. With all these talents on one tune you know it is going to be a big one full of rich bass and killer hooks and so it proves, with funky beats, lithe bass playing and dazzling disco pads that are all topped with an irresistibly sunny vocal.
Review: Given the serious disco-house credentials of '90s survivor Boris Dlugosch and contemporary nu-disco chops of hyped outfit Purple Disco Machine, you'd expect "Love For Days" to be pretty darn hot. It is, of course, with Purple Disco Machine's extended mix - nestled on the B-side - offering the perfect mixture of strong diva vocals (provided by Karen Harding), sweeping disco orchestration and modern disco-house trickery. Arguably the best version, though, comes from Masters at Work legend Kenny Dope, whose fluid rework utilizes looser, live-sounding percussion, far more orchestration and all manner of original disco-era references. Motez completely flips the script on B2, serving up a skipping, Champagne sipping version that brilliantly joins the dots between disco and two-step UK garage.

For those who like kaleidoscopic synth sounds, nu-disco and 80s electrofunk nostalgia, the announcement of a collaborative single from modern disco maestro Purple Disco Machine and Canadian boogie revivalists Chromeo will be big news. Happily, 'Heartbreaker' is tons of fun, providing a perfect fusion of Purple Disco Machine's throbbing, cheery and uplifting take on nu-disco and the authentic synths, talkbox flourishes and eyes-closed vocals that have always marked out Chromeo's work. The A-side extended mix is particularly potent, but we're also massive fans of the alternate instrumental take, in which the uniqueness of the fusiuon - Moroder-ish bass, elongated mid-80s soft rock synth solos and glossy FM synth stabs - comes to the fore. To quote Alan Partridge, it's a copper-bottomed hit!

Purple Disco Machine makes the sort of warm, colourful and feel-good sounds that have united festival crowds all over the world since he first broke through. For his latest tune he has worked with UK chart-topper Duke Dumont on a single, 'Something On My Mind' which melts nostalgic disco goodness with fresh and contemporary production. It is jin indie-tinged cut with vintage synths and groove-driven basslines with vocals from rising band Nothing But Thieves, whom Purple Disco Machine remixed not so long ago. This is another crossover hit in the making for disco-revivalists Purple Disco Machine and it comes on a 12" that is limited to 300 copies.

Review: Second time around for Purple Disco Machine's memorable collaboration with Pink Flamingo Rhythm Review, 'Money Money', a fine slab of nu-disco/P-funk fusion that first appeared on his mega-selling 2022 album Exotica. This time round it reappears in remixed form, with the original mix ignored in favour of three fresh takes. Long-serving London nu-disco don Yam Who handles side A, re-inventing the cut as a slightly darker, chunkier and moodier slab of gritty nu-disco excellence with added synthesiser colour and celebratory vocal snippets. Over on the flipside we get vocal and instrumental deep house mixes - albeit at a techno tempo - from Robert PM. His 'Money' mixes are energetic and peak-time ready, with plenty of twisted P-funk flourishes and hazy, minor-key chords.
Review: German nu-disco don Purple Disco Machine has been phenomenally successful in recent years, and there's every chance that this single - a collaboration with little-known British indie band Sophie & The Giants - will raise his profile even more. "Hypnotized" certainly sounds like it has serious crossover potential. In its original "Extended Mix Form", the track is an attractive chunk of radio-friendly mid-tempo nu-disco/80s AM radio synth-pop fusion that comes complete with a catchy, sing-along chorus. Roosevelt smartly gives the track a little more organic disco warmth whilst retaining the prettiness of Purple Disco Machine's original synths, while Loods aims for hands-in-the-air peak-time bliss on a cheery retro-futurist big room house take.
